  Hi HN, I'm one of the founders and would love to give some context. Our aim is to make building machine learning powered applications as painless as possible. We built the product that we wish existed when we were flailing about, trying to stand up ML applications in the past.

  We’ve built a product that allows users to seamlessly integrate ML models with their custom business logic, expose them as APIs, and ultimately assemble user-facing apps that utilize those APIs. Many ML practitioners find dealing with infra (e.g. docker, k8s) and front-end engineering to be daunting tasks. We want to show them that they can achieve a lot more (e.g. build full-fledged ML-enabled user-facing applications) without having to learn those skill sets.

  Our aim was to build something that was 1) simple, 2) powerful, and 3) a joy to use.

  This is our take on that — we’d love to hear what you think

  This seems very promising. Are the founders able to speak to the backstory and how the came across this product space?
